CODE LYOKO ENGLISH - EP52 - The key

[@LovelyLies16]

I just wanted to say that for a kid's TV show, this had some pretty dark moments, which is what makes it so legendary as a classic kid show. I think that is part of the reason why it still proves to still be a hit even today with the ones who saw it for the first time on TV who are now in their adult years. It wasn't afraid to get a little adult and a little dark yet just enough so it still got that kid rating. For starters, these kids are barely teenagers and are put in life or death situations on a regular basis. XANA isn't afraid to get violent in order to get rid of them. How many times have these kids been simply electrocuted, choked, thrown like a rag doll and taken quite the beat down, nearly drowned or attacked by wild animals? And that is only a few on the list. Yet they still get through it and don't back out because they are still determined to see their mission right to the end. And in this episode, Aelita basically tries to commit SUICIDE. All for the sake of saving her friends and the world. I never even realized what she was doing as a kid. At least, I didn't comprehend the true act of what she was doing. Now as a young adult, it's like, "Wow... that was actually pretty dark." It's plot is excellent, it has excellent characters, it has excellent animation and a well told and smooth story line. This truly is one of the best animated shows of all time.

[@xanadu2002]

True

[@littlesnuggle529]

Aelita dies twice in this episode, once from suicide and another from virtual murder. Nearly every episode the gang gets incredibly close to death, whether it be from drowning, suffocating, cooking in a boiler room, freezing to death in an icy tundra while trapped beneath a fallen tree, electrocuted, or any number of ways they've faced death. This show is a _little_ more than a _little_ dark.

not to mention in one episode one of xana's attacks got a little to friendly with yumi

[@krolirtheekroller4147]

I think part of the reason for Yumi and Ulrich's communication issues are derived from the way their parents are. Yumi's parents always seem to be on the verge of divorce and don't communicate well, which makes Yumi reluctant to open up to someone she cares deeply for in fear of getting into a similar situation as her parents. And as we have seen from Ulrich's father, we see his father later on as well, his dad is very strict and doesn't communicate in a pleasant manner. Ulrich growing up in this kind of environment probably makes him fear for the worst in situations, so whenever he sees Yumi being reluctant to open up, he takes that as a sign of disinterest despite the fact that she has repeatedly shown how fond of him she is. Also they are teenagers... Personally I feel bad for Sissy and William because they are constantly used by Ulrich and Yumi to "get back" at each other despite Sissy and Williams feelings. They just don't deserve that.

17:00 was a very great dark moment, the world is literally falling aprat around aelita and she doesn't have time to mentally process it. when the manta had gotten hit aelita saw that her father wasn't around, odd ulrich and yumi were gone, and she was truley alone. the desperate cry- no scream for help had so many overtones of helplessness, a moment where there was actually nothing anyone could do but watch. I think this moment stick out to people because it wasn't another scene where aelita had something up her sleve or jeremy coul've done something but didn't like in other episodes, this was true suspense. tldr: xana really wasn't fucking around with aelita today.

[@jtlovescodelyoko]

You perfectly describe why the key is the best episode of the show and is also for me the best episode I've ever seen in form of Animation because animation can push boundaries like this including children's television Animation, for something like this to be almost anxiety driven suspenseful adding with giving us a heartbreaking backstory of a character (Aelita flashback) this is why now shows like Steven Universe, Adventure Time and Infinity Train they are also did the same thing that code lyoko did in this episode of the key

And not to forget the skidbladnir gave the series a new turn. Not every episode anymore was about deactivating the tower. Though season 2 was the second best to me, because it had a really good plot. It was actually the most mysterious season which reveals its secrets bit by bit throughout the series, especially at the end.

[@jtlovescodelyoko]

This is the best episode of all time in animation, this is boundary pushing television, The Code Lyoko production team were not scared in bringing out suspense anxiety driven fear and heart-wrenching display of character backstory, this is why other shows have done this in the future like Steven Universe, Adventure Time, Miraculous Ladybug, they're code lyoko level quality shows because they're not afraid to push boundaries like this episode did

@@vince1132 Season 4 was the best, it didn't have as strong a finish as Season 2 did, the whole XANA using William over and over got repetitive, plus the inconsistency. The whole time of Season 4, everybody is positive about bringing William back, and you would think they'd treat him better, he is the biggest victim of all given how every thing went, and he is shunned and pushed away despite how much everybody before hand wanted to see him back with them. Otherwise, the aesthetics and general approach of Season 4 was just amazing, the Skidbladnir really expanded the scope and I feel like it and everything it represents is the best thing to have happened to the show and setting in general.

Aelita's best and most emotional episode

[@christopherhodges7607]

This episode is still my favorite of the earlier seasons. It's the one time XANA actually learned a bit about humans and used his greatest weapon against them, false hope. They didn't question being able to suddenly locate what would have been XANAs most carefully guarded secret, or the relative ease at which they were able to get to it( no monsters in the outer sector and only four creepers at a time when they get to Sector 5). And then there is the fact that for the first time we actually see evidence of Franz Hopper still being on Lyoko when HE controls the Manta's (which next to the Krabs are my favorite monster) showing Xana fooled even him. And then Xana collapses the Core Zone on them, and forces EVERYONE to watch as he basically kills Aelita without being able to do anything. And then there is the visuals of this episode. The lights of Lyoko(specifically Sector 5) going dark when Aelita dies, the four main way towers turning red, the sphere around Aelita foreshadowing what would happen to Franz, there was more detail and story in this one episode than there is in an entire SERIES for a kids show today.

@@xanderfulton3186it’s possible he was planning to create a fake version of her to live with them on lyoko to eventually devirtualize, like the crew did with the fake William. Aleita hinted that he might do something similar when XANA pretended to be Hopper and created a fake version of their old home in the season 4 episode “distant memory”

​@@xanderfulton3186If that's the case though, then why does Aelita seem to remember Anthea being at The Hermitage? I could have sworn the flashback scenes she appears in show her there.

[@jacobbocaj5135]

It's kinda funny--Jeremy is so much more concerned for Aelita in this episode, than when she falls into the digital sea in a later episode. It's almost as though he didn't recognize the fact that falling into the digital sea pretty much means you're dead. Anyway, this episode was probably one of the best in the series--so exciting and intriguing. I love Code Lyoko.

[@mitchellbaran7917]

I think that had more to do with the directing at the time - one of the main writers for the series wasn't around for the fourth one.

[@infinitypercival5958]

Mitchell Baran, Sophie Decroisette, the head writer for CL's first 3 seasons, actually did write some episodes for Season 4, but she just wasn't the head writer at the time. Bruno Regeste took her spot for the fourth season.

[@mitchellbaran7917]

+Infinity Percival - That's my point, dude; she wasn't head writer for season four, so the overall plot had a different feel to it in places along with the individual episodes.

I remember what a big deal this was when this episode aired for the first time.

[@zero3778]

I remember when I first saw this and understood the grave implications of X.A.N.A now being loose without a way to stop it. The only check they had was knowing the option to shut the super computer down was there, even though it was not desirable/preferable to do it. This countermeasure, the only one they knew of that could stop X.A.N.A for certain, was gone.. "X.A.N....X.A.N.A got what he wanted....He has the keys to lyoko...He'll be able to get out of the super computer!" The fear in Jeremy's voice was real, because unlike the others he knew that this defeat was massive and its significance had only grave implications. An ultra intelligent computer program that doesn't eat, doesn't sleep, has power that is beyond their reckoning, and that is deadly malicious on top of it was now completely free of any kind of restraint. The only way to stop it wouldn't work anymore and they had no plan B to speak of.

[@Niknokinater]

XANA getting out of the super computer is one of the most dark and memorable things I've seen in animation. I've watched plenty of dark anime and what not over the years since this show stopped airing on TV, and though there are a lot of dark and dreadful things on plenty of anime... shit, I don't remember half of the dark stuff I've seen, but the moment where XANA is released into the whole of the world... few moments will top it. That was as dreadful and depressing as it got, especially whenever you understood what kind of program XANA was, and now literally how invincible XANA had become.

X.A.N.A has got to be one of the most cunning and calculated villains ever. As soon as Jeremy was able to decode Hopper's diary, he was able to quickly change tactics and use it to his advantage by tricking the group into believing that they found the solution to Aelita's link to X.A.N.A. In the end, X.A.N.A got what he wanted and escaped the supercomputer.

[@jacobyoung4442]

Aside from the unique and enjoyable charm that the show gets from having been geared towards kids, I feel like this show could have been absolutely amazing if had been geared towards an older audience. The subplots and side conflicts betweens the characters, their parents and the members of the school could have been fleshed out in greater depth with moments of slower pacing. This would've helped further develope the complicated relationships that the characters are involved with. As well as add a greater sense of suspense and dread as they face off with a threat much greater than themselves. As much as I still enjoy the show rewatching years later, now and then I do get a little frustrated that sometimes the only reason Ulrich and Yumi have communication problems is due to poor timing. There is certainly a sense of realism to this and as a kid I never would've questioned this but for them to feel the way they do and act on their feelings for each other time and time again only to miss the part where they actually talk about it gets repetitive. Moments with Odd and Jeremy and some of their issues and personal lives could've been explored. For example Jeremy practically works himself to exhaustion; not eating, not sleeping etc. but, fews times are the side affects of this show in more than momentary outbursts, immediately resolved. As for Odd a deeper look into his passion for art. In the end I wouldn't want the show any other way than the way it is. However I do mean to say that I would've had faith in its production team to have way the show this way, I would only love it more

When Xana took the keys to Lyoko from Alieta. Lyoko was shutting down after Aelita died and Xana turned all the towers on Lyoko red for his victory of freedom. He can now take over the world as he wanted. But that didn’t stop him. France Hopper saved his daughter by giving her memories back and bringing Lyoko back to life. He did all that to save his daughter’s life.

[@UsagiMaddie]

It’s honestly dark and very sad and depressing that when Aelita dies, Lyoko literally starts to die as well. It’s like disconnecting something from its power source and watching all the stuff related to it, turn off.
